Zipline — South San Francisco California
About Zipline Zipline is the world’s largest and most experienced drone delivery service. We are on a mission to serve all humans equally by ensuring access to food, medicine and essential goods anytime, anywhere. We design, build, and operate the world’s largest autonomous logistics system, delivering critical supplies quickly and reliably.
Today, Zipline operates on four continents, makes a delivery somewhere in the world every 30 seconds, and has completed millions of deliveries to date, including blood, vaccines, medical supplies, food, and retail products. Our customers include the world’s largest and most prominent healthcare systems, governments, retailers, restaurants and global businesses who rely on us to save lives, reduce emissions, increase economic opportunity, and provide delivery from point A to point B as fast as possible. The drone is only 15% of what we’ve built to enable seamless, reliable, global operations.
Our system strengthens supply chains, reduces congestion, and gives people time back. With more than 140 million commercial autonomous miles safely flown, Zipline is redefining access to healthcare, consumer products, and food across the globe. We operate at a global scale and are looking for practical problem solvers who thrive on real-world challenges and rapid growth.
Our team is motivated by building systems that have a direct, meaningful impact on people’s lives and by scaling the future of logistics. We are seeking people who sculpt from first principles, enjoy facing adversity, and can do the impossible at record breaking speeds. About You and The Role Zipline designs, manufactures, and operates autonomous delivery systems that rely on accurate engineering product data.
Every prototype, production build, supplier order, repair, and field configuration depends on trusted component records, part numbers, ECAD models, and BOM data. As the Senior ECAD Library & Engineering Data Engineer, you will own Zipline's managed Altium component library and help build the standards, workflows, and automation that keep hardware data accurate across engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, quality, and service. This is a hands-on role for someone who can create excellent ECAD library content, improve messy legacy data, and make it easier for engineers to find and reuse approved parts.
What You'Ll Do
Own the structure, standards, permissions, and daily operation of Zipline's managed Altium component library. Create, review, and release production-quality schematic symbols, PCB footprints, pad stacks, simulation models, and 3D component models. Verify component models against manufacturer documentation, including pinout, polarity, package dimensions, land pattern, solder-mask and paste definitions, assembly layers, and 3D alignment.
Define practical standards for component templates, required parameters, naming, descriptions, revision schemes, lifecycle states, and review criteria. Audit and clean up existing library data, resolving duplicates, obsolete records, missing models, inconsistent parameters, and conflicting part numbers without breaking released-design traceability. Own the new-part request process from intake through review, internal part-number assignment, library creation, approval, release, and downstream synchronization.
Requirements
, and suitability for the intended design. Help define a scalable part-number and classification model for electrical parts, PCBAs, cables, harnesses, mechanical parts, assemblies, and related hardware items. Establish clear source-of-truth rules across Altium, PLM, ERP, procurement, manufacturing, and service systems.
Improve EBOM quality so released BOM lines map cleanly to valid internal part numbers, manufacturer records, lifecycle states, revisions, and owners.
